Nibo community in the Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State boiled on Sunday as an unknown number of persons were shot and feared killed by gunmen at Oye Nwochichi market near the Community Old Maternity.
According to eyewitnesses, the hoodlums came in a brown-coloured Lexus 300 Jeep and immediately opened fire on the people.
Although the total number of persons gunned down was yet to be ascertained, community members said no fewer than 10 corpses have been recovered so far.
A police spokesman in the state, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the attack and disclosed that it was a cult-related clash between rival groups.
